Has Thanksgiving really come and gone already! Geez, I guess time really does fly when you are having fun:-) So many activities have occurred this month that I will have to recap at a later time because I am really pooped tonight. Oh, did I say poop?!?! Kylie poops in the potty in school and at our friend Jeanne's home but she decides to take a break when she is at home with us. Sometimes it is a bit frustrating to me but I try to remind myself that this is a stage she is going thru. I bet she will love reading this part when she is a bit older:-) She is also talking up a storm! We are definitely enjoying this stage. She is easily amazed and our favorite part is when she yells WOW Daddy or WOW mama. It just melts our heart. She occassionally says 3-4 words together which is great. She is enjoying the holiday decorations around the neighborhood and we are looking forward to all of the new excitement this holiday season is sure to bring.

A new princess has arrived!!! Not in our home but close enough as we get together often with our dear friends John and Lissette. This morning they welcomed Alyssa to the world at 4:30am and we couldn't be happier for a nicer couple. We look forward to having Alyssa join in our gatherings. We love you Alyssa!

Yep, we finally did it. First haircut. I know you are probably thinking she didn't have much hair to begin with and you are right. But the little bit she did have was driving me nuts. I can't stand thin, stringy, mullet looking hairdo so I took her to the pro. Now an inch or so off the ends and Kylie is now sporting a healthy, thicker head of hair. Kylie was so sweet and quiet throughout the process peeking at the mirror every now and then to see what was going on. She as well as her mommy were very pleased with the results. Enjoy my amateurish layout. It is still a work in progress as I continue to learn my new hobby:-)

Happy belated birthday to my DH who was more than happy to share the spotlight with his daughter on Halloween. We went trick or treating on Wednesday for the first time with Kylie and our neighbor friends. We had a great time and Kylie barely made it through one lap before she asked her daddy to carry her the rest of the way home. I can't believe I didn't take a pic of that! It was a bit overwhelming getting out the door and meeting up with friends to beg for candy:-) We have some great neighbors who really got into the halloween spirit though and my mind is racing with ideas for next year:-)
